this video begins introducing the first 10 moves of the frankenstein for memorization, which is easy because of the three consecutive mating threats
1.e4, e5
2.Nc3, Nf6
3. Bc4, Nxe4
4. Qh5, Nd6
5. Bb3, Nc6 (...Be7 the anti-frankenstein)
6. Nb5, g6
7. Qf3, f5
8. Qd5, Qe7
9. Nxc7, Kd8
10.Nxa8, b6

  • 0:38 if black doesn't take the e4 pawn he avoids the frankenstein. Here he plays Bc5 instead, and they go into an end game

  • 2:40 after Nxe5 black has to play g6, according to 'the complete vienna' by Michael Tsietlin Igor Glazkov, or this will happen 3:24

  • 1:48 to avoid the frankenstein variation black will continue 5...Be7 instead of 5...Nc6. Then there are quick exchanges and white's gives material for threats

  • @phantomofthedrivein after black avoids the frank with 5...Be7 (5...Nc6 allows the frank) he can castle 1:48 or play 6...Nc6 2:40 to get equal position

  • 0:12 White wins an exchange and corners castling rites but black's pawns and pieces are advanced. White can give back the exchange later or consolidate

  • 0:08 if the knight takes the pawn he's defended tacticaly, until Qh5 threatens mate and the knight has to defend F7
